Ca is 21/50 in murder rate. Floriduh is 13/50.

South Dakota beats Texas yet again.

Finally my state gets second place for something, sadly this is a shitty thing to get second place for.

Hmmm.  Seems something is inversely proportional between the states at the top and the states at the bottom.


What could it be. what could it be?

Damn DC is really high.

rank by % white folk, see how it matches up.

diversity kills.

I think I see a pattern

On the bright side, very few of these murders prompt anything but a sigh of relief.

 

So there's that.

Bingo

 

If you haven't noticed, one certain race that consists of 13% of the US population commits 50% of all murders in the US.

This is pretty consistent year to year if you break it down by race.

I was just pointing out that one of the liberal strongholds in the gun control department wasn't the bastion of safety they promoted.

 

Correlate by minority groups and get back to us.

THAT'S RACIST!!

Even  worse, it's mostly males.

 

@6.5% committing 50%.

"Socioeconomic."

The vast majority of the people I grew up with were poor and, by most people's standards, "uneducated" and they didn't go around killing each other. Being poor doesn't turn you into a murderer, nor does being "uneducated." Typical leftist bullshit.

The area where I live still has a sky high poverty rate but your chances of getting murdered here are very, very low.

That's where liberals get it ass backwards. Graduating from high school isn't going to magically endow you with some sort of superior moral character. Rather, violent, predatory shitbags are simply not very likely to finish high school. People don't commit murder because they missed out on high school biology classes. So yeah, there's a statistical correlation between education and crime, but it's not a cause and effect relationship.

It's o.k. We know what you actually meant to say was that the states in question have a high percentage of people from a particularly brutal, destructive subculture that glorifies violence, drug use, and stupidity while exhibiting not the slightest, remotest concept of impulse control. A subculture mollycoddled and bankrolled from cradle to prison to grave by the U.S. taxpayer. A grotesque underclass of predatory parasites nurtured by, and wholly dependent upon, the federal government.

We keep it real down here. Real murdery.

 
Stupid racist numbers!!!  

must be why west virginia isso high on the list

South East states representing
Draw your own conclusions...

Hot and muggy?

 

Dover and Wilmington are shit holes.

Jesus, is Puerto Rico a third world country or what?

Seems like both murders per capita and murders with firearms per capita increased, but they increased faster elsewhere, so California got a small bump for total murders from 21st to 20th place but got a relative drop in firearms murders from 11th to 15th place.

Looks like Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Marianas didn't have murders this year, if our colonies are only included when the actually have murders (which I assume, seeing as how Guam was listed for 2013's stats).

I was just thinking how interesting it would be, to see the murders overlayed on the Demographics map.  

I'm betting there would be very few surprises.    

That's not to say white people are harmless.    They are by far, the deadliest breed when provoked and organized.   More methodical and scientific.

PR is the most useful study. It has extremely strict gun laws and it's an island, so they can't say that criminals drive down I-95 to get guns. The same is true of the Virgin Islands.

Memphis keeping Tennessee in the top 10!

Apparently we are live free and don't die !

It's worse than that.   You have to take out the very young, and the very old.     Those in the prime murdering ages of 14-50, would only consist of maybe 3.5%.         So, 3.5% commit 50% of the murders.  

Indiana gets inflated by its proximity to Illinois.  We get a lot of Chicago gang banging that carriers over into Gary, and unfortunately has made its way south down I65 to Indy.

Take out New Orleans and I bet we drop into the bottom half

The years not over. Still time to catch up

Guam did, it was included in the FBI data, but I removed it from my chart for this year. It had 6 murders on the FBI table.

 
Take away the 417 murders and 2.7mil people from shitcago and IL would be near the bottom of the list.     A good bit of the other 260 is likely from Rockford.

Personally, I like to start by reviewing the raw data before processing it.  Post-processing is where politics enters and makes statistics into "a game".

I don't really like the frequency interpretation.  It makes murder seem like a random act, occurring as a rate within a State's population.  That is malarkey!  Murder is not a random thing.  Murder, by legal definition, is a deliberate act.

What I want to see is the geographic distribution of the data, where are the unsafe areas.

What I want to see is the cause (motive) of the murders - drug money related, spousal abuse,...

You can't be serious

Some of your numbers are fucky, and you left out FL.

The raw data effectively shows you the population of each state, useless.

Wrong!  According to that logic, the rate (murders/100,000) would be constant.  It is not.  Re-read the post.


This type of response is indicative of the types of politicking I was mentioning above.

Wow, Wyoming must be looking pretty empty without those 13 people around.

all died in one county, too.

Killmengton set a record last year.

Was just thinking of this.  Check out the states at the bottom.  Whitest states in the US.  I would love to see a simple correlation graph.  I think we'd reach statistical significance.

At least my state is first in something.

There was a murder a block away from their stadium while we were playing them a few weeks ago.

Guy that got shot was a little brother to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back.

You can sort/filter by crime  type (murder, in this case), range of dates, etc.

I think I see a correlation....

PR is a drug infested shit hole

The heart of it all.

Not enough rap videos being filmed in parks.

Cut out the south end of north las vegas, numbers and dead presidents and the ghetto strip you would see Nevada fall pretty far to the bottom of the list.
